China and Germany are the leading exporters of Isobutyraldehyde (CAS 78-84-2), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the largest importers. Import demand has remained relatively stable across key Asian and North American markets, with modest growth observed amid fluctuating Isobutyraldehyde prices tied to upstream propylene feedstock costs.
Isobutyraldehyde is a colorless, volatile liquid with a pungent, penetrating odor. It is an aliphatic aldehyde (branched-chain C₄ aldehyde) and exhibits moderate volatility, with a boiling point of approximately 64 °C and a melting point of −65 °C. It serves primarily as a key chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, notably in the production of neopentyl glycol, isobutanol, and methacrolein. Its principal applications are in the manufacture of high-performance polyester resins, alkyd coatings, plasticizers, and agrochemical intermediates. It is also used in the synthesis of specialty chemicals for polymer crosslinking and surface coatings.
Isobutyraldehyde is used in the synthesisof cellulose esters, resins, and plasticizers;in the preparation of pantothenic acid andvaline; and in flavors.
Isobutyraldehyde has a characteristic sharp, pungent odor.
